birthday girl

today is my birthday. i'm trying to get out of the house, but there is much that keeps me here. good music, beautiful beautiful birthday messages. and life really is quite gorgeous and funny, i've gotten really beautiful messages from people, friends, who had not even made the connection that it is my birthday. messages from friends 'just' keeping in touch and sending sweet thoughts. i feel good. and for some reason, i woke up with the sounds of janet jackson in my head. she has a song about moving around the world that i love, 'walking in the rain in spain, and springtime in paris sounds good to me.' these really are a part of the lyrics, you'd think i made them up. to my delight and surprise, there is a video for it. i love it. if you love travel, check this one out. it really is fun! if i had my way... hmmm, walking by the sea in barceloneta with Hans, dinner beneath the eiffel tower with Susu, wandering through the guggenheim in bilbao with Nuria and Ulises, and a generous tea and coffee meeting with belle Belette, as we both love travel, oh where shall that be... . 'i'm just saying!' have a wonderful day dear friends, dreaming of you, i walk with you in my heart and mind.

oh... here's the video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BTjbjU6FXA
